Lying, Cheating, and Stealing… an American way of Life?

I’ve been speaking with a lot of my not-so-political friends on the other side of the isle. These are people that are usually very sensible. We find ourselves very close on issues, though we may take a different approach to get to the same conclusion, but sensible none the less.

Over the last few months several of them have expressed that they think Hillary may be the best suited for the presidency. The reason? She understands politics and has been at it longer than anyone else… All together now… SIGH!

But what’s even more disturbing? The ones I considered politically sensible say that Hillary’s issues don’t really bother them because ALL politicians lie, ALL politicians cheat, and ALL have some issues that we don’t know about. As if that weren’t bad enough, some of those I spoke with were, wait for it… POLITICIANS! How sad! Have we become desensitized to crime and bad actions?

We turn a blind eye to some bad actions, but we keep passing ridiculous laws, like; “You can only throw a Frisbee at a Los Angles beach with a life guard’s permission” or “Animals are banned from mating publicly within 1,500 feet of a tavern, school, or place of worship” or this gem ”No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour.” Get my drift?

It’s possible that each of the situations you gave are, in tiny part, true….However, I think that many find it requires much less effort to adopt the obvious, grab the sound bytes or listen to media & neighbors than to actually do a little research on their own….in other words……it could simply be laziness.
